Maps have been around for centuries- they help us know what cultures were aware of in terms of their neighbors, other lands, and so on. Map making continues today, as we map other planets, the bottom of the seas, and continually produce high quality maps here that measure various aspects of culture, demographics, and geography.

How much of a spherical world can i draw on a map without having to worry about distortion? (self.mapmaking)

You can't represent any percentage of a sphere on flat paper without distortion. The question of how much depends on how much distortion you're willing to accept. Generally anything beyond 15 degrees distortion becomes measurable with common tools. Then again the distortion really isn't noticeable to most.

If you have a lat-long grid in a map projection to use as a layer in your drawing program, then you have the ability to later change the map to either a globe view or a different projection given a bit of software (e.g. a GIS package). In that case the limit on your ability to draw without significant distortion will be:
your ability to use the grid (which for utlying areas of the map will be distorted) in your minds eye as if it were 'rectangular.'
the limits set for that particular grid (i.e. the relevant map projection).
If you google Map Projection Blank Grids you'll get some (with Earth included to give you a sense of scale) and you can get the parameters of the projection from the source for later use. Most GIS toolsets will distort an image between any two projections easily enough.
Of course, an alternative is just to draw using a GIS in the first place.
If you are a pen-and-paper kinda guy I'd recommend printing out the grids and using a light table to gently trace a grid (using a 5 or 6H pencil) onto your paper to give you a reference frame...

[–]pseudokapi 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
You don't have to worry about distortion, but you're going to have to decide what to do about it.
If you are concerned for scientific precision, I don't see how you can go with a map any bigger than something between 1000-4000 square miles depending on how close to the equator you are. I don't see how any lay person without modern tools could see the distortion in a map of say, Yosemite National Park or Los Angeles county.
A map of New Mexico? Maybe. California? Probably if they really cared about some detail that was specifically complicated by it (in this case, magnetic north would move enough relative to true north to actually present a problem).
Precision in maps is really about what you care about measuring rather than some sort of Platonic ideal of a map.

Iron peak
This article does not cite any references or sources. (January 2012) |
The iron peak is a local maximum in the vicinity of Fe (V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni) on the graph of the abundances of chemical elements, as seen below.
For elements before iron, nuclear fusion releases energy. For elements heavier than iron, nuclear fusion consumes energy, but nuclear fission releases it. Chemical elements up to the iron peak are produced in ordinary stellar nucleosynthesis. Heavier elements are produced only during supernova nucleosynthesis. This is why we have more iron peak elements than in its neighbourhood.
Binding energy[edit]
The graph below shows the nuclear binding energy per nucleon of various elements.[clarification needed] Increasing values of binding energy can be thought as the energy released when a collection of nuclei is rearranged into another collection for which the sum of nuclear binding energies is higher. As can be seen, light elements such as hydrogen release large amounts of energy (a big increase in binding energy) when combined to form heavier nuclei—the process of fusion. Conversely, heavy elements such as uranium release energy when converted to lighter nuclei—processes of alpha decay and nuclear fission. 56
28Ni is the most thermodynamically favorable in the cores of high-mass stars (see also Silicon burning process). Although some nuclides[which?] with 58 and 62 nucleons have even higher (per nucleon) binding energy, their synthesis cannot be achieved in large quantities because the required amount of neutrons is typically not available in the stellar nuclear material.

Neointimal coverage on drug-eluting stent struts crossing side-branch vessels using optical coherence tomography. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 20494663 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The status of neointimal coverage on the drug-eluting stent (DES) struts, which are placed across the side-branch vessels, remains unclear. The degree of neointimal coverage of stent struts crossing the side-branch vessel was evaluated according to the different types of DESs. Follow-up optical coherence tomography images at 9.3 months after the index procedure were identified in 51 patients who had undergone DES (sirolimus-eluting stents [SESs] in 22 patients, paclitaxel-eluting stents [PESs] in 15, and zotarolimus-eluting stents [ZESs] in 14) implantation with crossover of the side-branch vessels (size >2.0 mm). The enrolled patients were classified as a covered group if every unapposed strut showed neointimal coverage or an uncovered group if any struts lacked neointimal coverage. The neointimal hyperplasia thickness was also measured. The number of patients in the covered group was 15 (29%), with 36 patients in the uncovered group. Significant differences were found in the proportion of the covered group among the 3 DES types (6 [27%] of 22 with SESs, 1 [7%] of 15 with PESs, and 8 [57%] of 14 with ZESs; p = 0.011). The percentage of neointimal coverage in the overall stent struts was also significantly different among the 3 DES types (65% of 356 struts, 20% of 165 struts, and 83% of 143 struts for the SESs, PESs, and ZESs, respectively; p<0.001). The neointimal hyperplasia thickness in the PES group was significantly smaller than those of the ZES and SES groups (0.02 +/- 0.02 mm vs 0.08 +/- 0.06 mm and 0.04 +/- 0.03 mm, respectively; p = 0.002). In conclusion, different patterns of neointimal coverage of the stent struts crossing the side branch vessels were observed according to the type of DES. |

Postponement favors Tigers in ALCS
The Detroit Tigers didn't win the American League pennant Wednesday night. But strategically speaking, they won the rainout.
When Major League Baseball postponed Game 4 until Thursday, the Tigers benefited in two ways: CC Sabathia will no longer be available to pitch a potential Game 7 for the New York Yankees, and Detroit reliever Phil Coke — who temporarily ascended to the closer's role amid Jose Valverde's struggles — should be available to pitch in Game 4. (Tigers manager Jim Leyland had said Coke would be off Wednesday, after closing back-to-back games.)
MLB postponed Game 4 because the forecast left doubt concerning the potential to play nine innings, under the rule that postseason games must be played to completion; heavy rain hit downtown Detroit in what would have been the middle innings.
The Tigers' potential windfall stood in sharp contrast to last postseason, when two Justin Verlander starts turned into Detroit losses after being interrupted by rain.
Apart from speculation about the weather, conversation at Comerica Park was dominated by the Yankees' evolving lineup saga. With his team down 3-0 in the series and facing elimination, New York manager Joe Girardi wrote out a batting order he'd never used all season.
Alex Rodriguez and Curtis Granderson were the slumping regulars left out, as Girardi went with an outfield of Ichiro Suzuki in left, Brett Garner in center and Nick Swisher in right. Eric Chavez replaced Rodriguez at third base for the second straight game.
Since the Game 4 starting pitchers will remain the same — Sabathia for New York, Max Scherzer for Detroit — there isn't much of a chance Girardi will change his lineup before the revised first pitch time of 4:07 p.m. ET Thursday.
So, the Yankees were left to hope that Girardi had finally made the right roulette pull, in his desperate effort to rouse a lineup that has batted just .182 in this series.
"You've got to go with any and everything you can," said Granderson, who batted just .103 in his first eight games this postseason. "You mix things up. You move guys up and down. Guys in, guys out — whatever you happen to do. That's just part of it. This isn't the first time this lineup has been changed. I'm an example of it. I've batted pretty much in every spot of the lineup all season. This is definitely not the first time."
Granderson said he wasn't surprised by the change. When Girardi told him, Granderson said he responded, "I'll be ready whenever you need me."
Apart from any tinkering, the Yankees' hopes probably rest with one hitter who's been in the lineup for every postseason game. Robinson Cano, the team's best all-around player, finally ended his 0-for-29 slump (the record for a single postseason) in the ninth inning of Game 3.
"I'm going to be honest: I've been feeling good the whole series," Cano said. "The only thing (I've had) is bad luck, a lot of hits right at people. But it's good to at least get the first one."
Assuming Girardi doesn't change his lineup, Rodriguez will be benched for a third time in the Yankees' past five postseason games. Based on that, one could interpret A-Rod's absence from the lineup as stale news. But with him, there is no such thing.
Rodriguez's image has been pulverized in recent days, for reasons ranging from a .130 postseason batting average to a New York Post report that said he flirted with two female fans from the dugout during the Yankees' Game 1 loss to Detroit.
"Some of the criticism out there is very fair — I can live with that," Rodriguez said. "But some of the other stuff is not fair. You just move on. You don't worry about it. I've been in New York a long time."
It's not clear when — or if — Rodriguez will get the opportunity to redeem himself this postseason. Girardi and general manager Brian Cashman have pointed to Rodriguez's season-long struggles against right-handed pitching as the cause of his benching. Given Detroit's all-righty rotation, the possibility exists that Rodriguez has taken his last at-bat of the season.
Already, the questions are turning to A-Rod's future with the Yankees. He has five years and $118 million left on his contract after this year, making him virtually unmovable unless the Yankees eat the vast majority of the money or take on multiple bad contracts from another team. The Miami Marlins — in Rodriguez's hometown — are the only plausible destination, but Cashman denied a report that he's had trade talks with the Marlins about A-Rod.
See which MLB stars earn the highest annual salaries, who's in the $150 million club and who makes the most at each position.The more pressing issue might be whether the relationship between A-Rod and Girardi has been negatively affected to the point that they can't coexist in 2013. When Girardi first pinch-hit for Rodriguez in the AL Division Series — a successful move that led to Raul Ibañez's tying and game-winning home runs — A-Rod insisted that he loved his manager.
When asked a similar question Wednesday, Rodriguez paused several seconds before answering.
"Um … I think Joe and I … The one thing I will give Joe a lot of credit, he's been very good to me over the years," Rodriguez told reporters. "So, he has a lot of equity with me. For me, it's tough. I'm a competitor. That's all I've known since I was 5 years old. My dad played baseball as well. I love to compete. I really feel, in my heart, anytime I'm in the lineup the team is a better team.
"We'll disagree there today. But I like Joe. I support Joe."
When asked if he wants to stay with the Yankees, A-Rod didn't answer directly. "I love the Yankees," he said. "I love this organization." And even though he has a full no-trade clause, he passed up an opportunity to rule out a move to Miami.
So, stay tuned.
As for the ALCS itself, the most optimistic Tigers fans could have looked upon the rainout as good news. They didn't want their team to clinch too quickly and have a long layoff before Game 1 of the World Series — which many believe helped doom their championship hopes in 2006.
The Yankees remain hopeful that there will be a quick turnaround between the ALCS and World Series — from Game 7 Sunday in the Bronx to Game 1 next Wednesday in St. Louis or San Francisco. To get that far, the Yankees will need to win behind Sabathia in Game 4 and then find a way to reel off three more victories without their ace — except perhaps in a relief cameo.
"Why are you going to think about Game 7 when you need to win three in a row?" Cano asked, in response to a question about Sabathia's apparent unavailability for the winner-take-all game. "You have to go game by game, then figure out what you can do in Game 7."

Keep hold of it. You may find that you like riding with it or whatever. I've seen them used during hiking as well.

Used for newbies because they don't know you take off your second boot and the board goes flying. Usually the person who owns the board they are borrowing make them wear it.
My buddies wore it when they first started until they got tired of me making fun of them. One of them had to dive after his board though after unstrapping on a steeper hill |

Jewish World Review August 19, 2010 / 9 Elul, 5770 Ground Zero mosque: The real issue By Dick Morris And Eileen McGann
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
The proposed mosque near to ground zero is not really a religious institution. It would be as many mosques throughout the nation are a terrorist recruitment, indoctrination and training center. It is not the worship of Islam that is the problem. It is the efforts to advance Sharia Law with its requirement of Jihad and violence that is the nub of the issue.
There is a global effort to advance Sharia Law and make it the legal system of the world. Most major banks and financial institutions offer Sharia Compliant Funds which have their investments vetted by the most fundamentalist and reactionary of clerics to assure that they advance Sharia Law. Iman Feisal Abdul Rauf, the founder of the proposed Mosque, helps to prepare a Sharia Index which rates countries on their degree of compliance with Sharia Law. In the United Kingdom, many courts have recognized Sharia as the governing law on matters between two Muslims.
Not only is Sharia Law a vicious anti-female code which orders death by stoning, promotes child marriage, decriminalizes abuse of women, and gives wives no rights in divorce, but it also explicitly recognizes the duty of all Muslims to wage Jihad against non-believers and promotes violence to achieve its goals. In this respect, violent Jihad is as inherent in Sharia Law as revolution is in Communist doctrine.
But there are non-Sharia mosques where peaceful and spiritual Muslims worship the Divine in their own way without promoting violence. A soon-to-be published study funded by Frank Gaffney's Center for Security Policy, found that 20% of the mosques in the United States have no taint of Sharia and simply promote peaceful worship. But 80% are filled with violent literature, Sharia teachings, and promotion of Jihad and its inevitable concomitant terrorism.
Which brings us to the ground zero mosque. There can be no doubt that any mosque organized and run by Iman Feisal Abdul Rauf will be based on Sharia Law and will serve as local branch office of the pan-Islamic terrorist offensive against the west. That such a facility should be located right next to the place where Jihad achieved its most hideous triumph is unspeakably inappropriate.
President Obama is confusing the issue when he describes it as one of religious freedom. There is broad latitude to worship the Almighty as one chooses. But there is none to promote violence and terrorism. The record of involvement of Sharia mosques with the 9-11 attackers and the Ft. Hood massacre shooter is so deep and extensive that it vividly underscores the difference between a religious institution and an organization that promotes terrorism.
Politically, President Obama's defense of the mosque and his efforts to make it a First Amendment issue are incredibly self-destructive. They raise questions about his political sanity. It is hard to believe how tone deaf he must have become to take such a position. He has now embraced two positions that are anathema to two-thirds of all Americans the mosque and opposition to Arizona's immigration law. Neither was a controversy that sought him out. He waded into each one voluntarily with flags flying. He had no role in the Arizona law but his lawsuit to invalidate it made it his fight. He does not sit on the New York City Planning Commission, but his endorsement of the mosque puts him squarely in the center of controversy. What is he using for brains these days?

What I did this weekend - photos on or of the pb
Well, on occasion we've had a photo shoot with the pb.
While I've done nothing very exciting, what triggered the thread this time was that yesterday I finally decided to see if I could get my eye-fi sd card in my Canon S95 to talk with my pb when I'm not sitting at a router. No success yesterday as I strolled away from my house watching the wifi-meter on my pb fade to complete gray and finally "not connected."
But I came home examined various parameters and settings. It was working from home via my router but I wanted the full-meal as that's what I paid for a few months ago. I did not trust it on my recent trip to Europe since I was afraid something might foul up camera/pb or both or my pictures.
So, I just, again, strolled down the block till my home wifi was gone and a slew of neighbors' wifi's showed up but so did my eye-fi card. But low and behold it wanted a damn password. What the h3ll was it. Trusty bb 9930 with Datavault, I pulled it out of my pocket juggling pb and camera and case. Enter datavault's password and scroll to eye-fi. Oh, good, a variety of pass phrases. CASE Matters! The wifi-logo on the camera started throbbing. YES!
Low and behold the pictures transferred from camera to pb (using the Android eye-fi app). Of course, the battery was quickly depleting. You will note that the Wifi-symbol is grayed out so I was not connected to my router. In the image the the "eye-fi" text, you can see the RED Notification corner alerting me that an image was being or had been transferred.
But since I also got a cold, I made a large pot of chicken soup and baked some bread (I ground a mix of wheat and oat berries). (taxes can wait till April 10, or 11, or ...14th!) Those indoor images are definitely grainy.
Here's the fruits of those various labors:Last edited by F2; 02-17-13 at 07:25 PM.

Re: What I did this weekend - photos on or of the pb
Spent most of Saturday sorting out cookies for delivery. Then I went to play some golf today. Let me say, it was quite comfortable for 32 degree F. I didn't have the PB but I do have a shot of my new golf bag. Thanks for the present girls.

1. You can read Michael Lewis's latest long article about the economic meltdown at Vanity Fair. This time he looks at Ireland. Like all of his writing it's a great read, full of interesting facts and memorable characters. But the message from all of his articles is basically the same - - financial wizards are typically dumb or immoral or both, and you should absolutely not trust them. Via.
2. Archaeologists have found the remains of a South American giant short-faced bear in Argentina. The bear stood 11 feet tall and weighed over 3,500 pounds. "The largest record for a living bear is a male polar bear that obtained the weight of about 2,200 pounds (1,000 kg)." And speaking of polar bears, look at these.
3. You can win a new limited edition t-shirt from Last Exit to Nowhere based on Simon Pegg's movie Paul.

Hmm... upon closer reading, there is clearly quite a bit of number crunching going on. But as Freakonomics has taught us, those figures can be weighted against just about anything. I STILL say that the article is grand editorializing, hence the unnecessary, unfounded swipes against Catholics, Polish migrant workers, etc, etc, ad nauseum.

Photo by Jeanne RiceFree Moral Agents
Everybody's Favorite Weapon
Ikey Owens is not polite—at least not when it comes to a typically second-banana instrument like the keyboards. At one of the rare live gigs for his latest project, Free Moral Agents—July 3 at Santa Ana's Grand Central Art Station—he dared to make his keyboard not just the center of attention, but to also make it kick and flail like a furiously feedbacking electric guitar. In less-talented hands, this could may have sounded like a self-esteem exercise. With Owens, who plays keys for Mars Volta and a rap sheet of other bands, it was a speed-of-sound plunge into Miles Davis' 1970s jazz funk. And that's just how Owens says hello. Created mostly with his keyboards and a host of studio tricks, Owens' just-released album, Everybody's Favorite Weapon, is packed with the mutant dread that made Detroit techno such an apocalyptic joy. But he laces that aesthetic with bluesy organ and jazzy Sun Ra freak-outs that point the way to something truly unique. The title track sets the tone by drop-kicking convention. There's no effort to hang notes or melodies on the time-honored pop-music formula of verse-chorus-verse. Instead it's a series of movements—up to a volley of Salvation Army Band-style trumpets—leading to the verse of J, the Agents' spoken-word artist. And "Gem From a Broken Rock," a spectral love song featuring fragile-sounding vocals from Mendee Ichikawa, is almost the opposite, settling into a sublime chemical-washed ennui and suddenly scrambling into one of J's jeremiads. So the Agents refuse to be comfortable with one groove—which is as it should be. Because no matter how far they've gotten already, it sounds like there's even more at this mysterious avant-hip-hop party left to discover.
Free Moral Agents perform at Fingerprints CDs & LPs, 4612 E. Second St., Long Beach, (562) 433-4996. Thurs., July 22, 7 p.m. Free. All ages.

The Blacklist: Who Betrayed Red?
If there's one thing we've learned from The Blacklist so far, it's this: you do not want to be on Raymond "Red" Reddington's (James Spader) bad side. In the first half of the season, we've seen he's capable of making some seriously scary stuff happen — suffocating Elizabeth Keen's (Megan Boone) father, anyone? And let's not forget: he's pulling off these shady acts while working with the FBI. So we're not exactly shocked he has an enemy, but we do know that once Red finds out who it is that betrayed him, they'd better run… if they can. We won't find out for sure who it is until the January 13 premiere — and maybe not even then! — but we're taking guesses in the meantime. We've got a feeling it could be anyone on this list: Someone in the FBI. There's obviously a mole somewhere in the agency, but who? Anyone would have access to the information that Red shares with Lizzie, and he sure gives the FBI enough reasons not to like him — even though he is, after all, helping them crack cases that would otherwise be near impossible to crack. A mole could be taking the information he gives the agents and using it to take him down from the inside. Another criminal. Could it be that someone Red used to work with found out that he's been working alongside the FBI to bust people who thought they could trust him? We're not too familiar with the dynamics of the relationships between criminal masterminds, but we have a feeling loyalty is something they value. Highly. Tom (Ryan Eggold). We know this one is a stretch, since Tom had that conversation with Red without having any idea who he was, but we can't deny that something sketchy is up with Lizzie's husband. We can't say what, exactly, but we wouldn't be surprised to find out that Tom was involved in Luli murder.
Who do you think betrayed Red? Sound off below!

Signpost: Andrew West
Where is the Australian Labor Party headed after its historic ballot to chose a leader? Other worldwide social democratic parties, particularly in Britain, are looking to return to some of their ethical and religious traditions, many of which are actually based on Christian social teaching. But while other social democratic parties are trying to make space for social conservatives in their movement, union leader Paul Howes' call for a binding vote on same-sex marriage seems to be heading in the oppostie direction.
On the conservative side of Australian politics, the new Prime Minister Tony Abbott has his own communitarian Christian political roots. But despite his well-known Catholic heritage, will Mr Abbott be able to rely on the vote of DLP Senator John Madigan when the new Parliament sits, particularly for free market reforms?
Overseas, the last few weeks have seen a surge in Islamist violence in Africa and the Middle East. Boko Haram, Al Shabaab, al Qaeda in the Maghreb have been linked with attacks.
And Pope Francis is continuing to making statements that shake the Catholic Church, saying his church has to stop being obsessed with abortion, contraception, and divorce.

| Allegro CL version 8.2 Unrevised from 8.1 to 8.2. 8.1 version |
Arguments: window &optional (configuration (find-window-configuration window))
Moves and resizes window to the position and size that it had when the CG and IDE configuration options were last saved to or loaded from the prefs.cl file. This applies only to windows for which keep-configuration returns true, which is the case for most IDE windows. Nothing is done for other windows, or if a prefs.cl file has not been saved.
This function is called automatically at IDE startup time as each window is created, to restore each standard IDE window to its position and size from the previous invocation of the IDE (assuming that save-options-on-exit was true). It may possibly be useful to call at other times.
It is not useful to pass the optional configuration argument as something other than its default value.
